Found a source of wheel weights, so I took the plunge into casting my own.
Made my first ingots this past Saturday, and cast my first bullets last night. After several attempts, I found the temps that the lead and molds need to be. At least in my case!
I decided to go the economical route (Lee Precision) and to my surprise the equipment performs very well. Went with the 110VAC 4-20 furnace, a Lyman thermometer, the Lee tumble lube molds, the small Lee press, with the Lee sizer dies, using ALOX for the lube. So far, so good. I’m going to run some hardness test before I attempt to load some cartridges, so not too cause any problems down the road.
Just wanted to say thanks to the folks in here for the excellent advice.
Take care.
